I'm a popularity seeker, I'll do whatever it takes to boost my status.

I'm always myself. Usually, that means people either love or hate me - I've met very few people who are totally neutral towards me. I don't really try in either way, and I always try to be courteous, but I've just got one of those personalities that can really rub some people the wrong way.

I'm actually more of an introvert. I'm laid-back but honest. I have a small group of close friends, but I try to be nice/friendly to just about everybody I encounter. I believe in smiling and chatting with people frequently because oftentimes, it brightens their day and puts them in a better mood... Happier people make the world better and brighter, so I think everyone should try to spread a bit of joy.

I'm the same way. I try to be nice/courteous/friendl y, but some people just want to dislike you, want to find something wrong with you and your behavior, no matter what.

Honestly, I get really envious over the fact that some people can just take whatever they want and they don't have to work hard because they're rich, popular, attractive, or all of the above. People like me, who're single moms, full-time college students, I have to bust my ass just to get people over the fact that I have a 3 year old at the age of 21, let alone trying to rise to the top. I bust my ass every day, so I really can't stand the people who can charm their way to the top. And at the same time, I really wish I could steal some of their power, just so I could catch a break once in a while.

I don't do well with people who are like that. I've been around many who lie to impress people, and it just irks me. I like to be honest to myself, even though I am not very popular due to that, but I surround myself with people who are true to themselves as well and it makes life more pleasant.

But what if that IS their true personality and acting less aggressively and more meekly would be a rejection of their true selves ?

I've always thought the idea that someone could be someone other than who they truly are is silly. You are who you are, even if your personality exists in situation-based pods... because in reality - we pretty much ALL do that to an extent.

I think if people like being popular, then that's fine - so long as they are true to who they are and do not hurt people in the process. There is a difference between those who enjoy popularity and are genuine and honest to those around them, and those who just walk all over others and plant a fake smile on to people's faces to gain popularity.
Honestly, I do my own thing and am quiet until I get to know someone, but am also a bit quirky. I don't care what anyone thinks about me for it. Apparently I was really popular back in high school and such, but I never paid attention to any of that. I was friends with those I liked, regardless of what clique they were in and was very blunt about how I felt to those I did not like (which was usually those who were cruel to others). Only issue I ever had was keeping the peace between friends in different cliques sometimes.

I'm not sure I really have ever even witnessed this type of behavior? Are we talking about a specific type of people? Politics? Sorry, I'm a tiny bit confused. I do understand the question though. No, I'm far from agressive and populat to/for what? I' very social and super friendly. I'm a people lover. I love to talk! I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't talk or have some type of communication with people, even those I don't know well. I don't talk to strangers in public really, but I am always happy to meet new people and all. I'm not agressive though... in any part of my personality. I have to work just to be agressive with my partner sometimes! Lol.

I'm talking about a specific type of people, such as newcomers to certain groups. They are so desperate to be accepted and be well-liked by others, they will pretentiously act humble and nice to please everyone (especially the higher ranking members), in return they'll get oohs and ahhs from everyone unaware of the facade. I find this kind of personality revolting, instead of being their true self, they have to go out of their way to be popular/noticed.

You don't strike me as an aggressive popularity seeker. You ARE very social, and you do like to speak your mind, a genuine person!

lol I'm glad you think so! I should have clarified; I do what I need to do to be successful. I'm not what is considered a back stabber or anything; I'm just ambitious and know how to reach my goals.

I don't mind being honest and telling it how it is because I think everyone can benefit from a new opinion and honesty. I don't consider myself a popularity seeker for this reason, because there are people who only want to be told what they want to hear.

Hm... I think I misunderstood the question. Hopefully this makes more sense!

Agreed, I like to be friendly but not to anyone specific or with the intent of getting something in return.

I'm amusing with out even trying. When I do try ugh I hate the social responsibility when all I want to do is follow along not create the events.

I'm quite the anti-social person in real life, but I seem to attract people and then promptly offend them with my very blunt nature and dislike of talking about or having anything to do with children. (Quite a few of the people in my community college have 1 or more children or are currently pregnant and cannot seem to talk about anything but their offspring...)
